TM
4.4.2,
KitKat® OS to manage your contacts, email, social networks and to discover the
opportunities of Internet with just a single touch! Discover the full potential of your
new "smart" phone. Compared to the usual mono SIM Smartphones, NGM Dynamic
Life offers the convenience of Dual SIM that has always characterized the entire range
of NGM phones, i.e. the ability to handle two SIM cards and consequently two
telephone numbers at the same time. You will discover other useful features such as
setting the preferred SIM for calls, video calls, messages and data connection. By

NGM mobile phones, ask for after sales assistance, access the forum for technical

Warning: Data Connection of NGM Dynamic Life is active as soon as you first turn on
the phone (and also after every factory data reset). If you do not have a special or
"flat" rate for data connection with your SIM card, you are recommended to turn
off data traffic and set up a Wi-Fi connection, in order to avoid additional costs.

SIM Settings > Data connection, or activate it from the Quick Setup buttons in the
notifications panel.

them automatically on your phone. If you want to use also a different Email account, you

Synchronization: synchronization is the most efficient approach to manage your useful
data because it allows you to make a backup of the data on your device with an internet
account. In case of replacement, loss or damage of the phone you will not experience loss
of data. The synchronization can be automatic (Settings > Data usage > Contextual menu >
Auto-sync data) or can be activated manually, individually for each installed application to
be synchronized; you can find the list of such applications in Settings > Account [installed
App list]. To add a new account, select Add Account. The synchronization uses an active
data connection, which could result in data traffic costs. It is advisable to use a WiFi
connection when available.
